Postgres Replication Performance Benchmark: Airbyte vs. Fivetran

The Airbyte team has significantly improved the performance of its platform and connectors over the last six months, with some popular connectors like Postgres and MySQL experiencing up to 10 times faster speeds. In a recent benchmark comparison, Airbyte's Postgres connector outperformed Fivetran's in terms of effective replication rate. To maintain performance oversight, Airbyte built a dashboard that displays speed results and allows for trend analysis. The team focused on optimizing connectors and utilized performance profiling tools to identify bottlenecks. Looking ahead, the company plans to leverage parallelization to achieve further performance gains.
